Toronto, it's time to #FALLforCBC!

The stars are out in Toronto and CBC Canada House is in the centre of it all. From September 4-7, fans can experience this pop-up activation through samples of CBC's exciting fall line-up, 'Meet & Tweets' with CBC stars and a variety of other free, family-friendly activities. CBC Canada House will be located next to the red carpets, on the corner of King Street West and Blue Jays Way.

The public is invited to connect and engage with CBC by taking part in live interactive discussions with CBC personalities and other Canadian film and television industry heavyweights and snapping a photo at the 'Step & ReTweet' wall. Celebrities will be on site, talking to fans and answering their questions about the arts and media issues of the day. The CBC Canada House studio will host live audiences and act as a backdrop for live broadcasts throughout the weekend as CBC News Toronto, arts, radio and CBC's digital platforms will be capturing the atmosphere.

Full details and schedule HERE.

See you there!
